Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrical connectors, especially to cam-equipped connectors in which male and female connectors in an intermediate joined position can be easily joined completely using a cam device requiring only low effort.
  • a connector described in the Patent Disclosure Sho 61 (1986)-203581 consists of a male connector with a cam groove and a female connector having a slide-type cam with a pin fitting in said groove, and the female connector is equipped with a slide type cam having a cam groove matching with a pin formed on the male connector (cam follower).
  • a connector described in Utility Model Disclosure Hei 5 (1993)-90846 another type of connector is described. It consists of a female connector equipped with a rotary-type cam having a groove matching with a pin formed on the male connector.
  • cam-equipped connectors have the following disadvantages.
  • they In order to join the connectors, they have to be temporarily joined. If, during this temporary joining, the male connector is not properly aligned relative to the joining cavity of the female connector, edges of the male connector can come against male contacts located in the joining cavity and deform them ( in some cases such deformation is referred to as "twisting").
  • the connectors In many applications the connectors are joined manually which substantially increases the danger of contact deformation.
  • the cam-equipped connector takes into consideration the information mentioned above, and its purpose is to offer a cam-equipped connector which makes it possible to avoid deformation of contacts during temporary joining without detrimental effect to the strength of the joining cavity of the female connector and without increasing the dimension of both connectors.
  • the cam-equipped connector according to this invention is characterized by the fact that protrusions are made on the bottom surface of the joining cavity of the female connector, which are taller than the height of said male contacts; the joining surface of the male connector has cavities provided for reception of said protrusions; and that in the matching portions of said protrusions and cavities, intermediary stopping devices are provided to temporary retain both connectors in temporary joined position.
  • the cam-equipped connector according to this invention makes it possible to avoid deformation of male contacts located inside the joining cavity, even when an attempt is made to insert the male connector into the female connector at an angle, by providing protrusions at the bottom surface of the joining cavity of the female connector which prevent interaction of the male connector with the male contacts located in the joining cavity.
  • the worker does not have to hold them in the intermediary joined position while operating the cam device, thus rising the effectiveness of the cam device.
  • the devices for temporary joining are located in the matching portions of the protrusions provided at the bottom surface of the joining cavity of the female connector and the matching cavities provided on the joining surface of the male connector, the strength of the walls forming the joining cavity of the female connector is not compromised without resorting to increasing their thickness which would lead to an increase in connector dimensions.
  • Figure 1 is an oblique view of the exterior of the cam-equipped connector according to this invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the female connector shown in the Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the male connector shown in the Figure 1
  • Figure 4 is a vertical cross section of the female and the male connectors shown in the Figure 1.
  • Figure 5 is a top view of the female connector shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 6 is a side view of the male connector shown in the Figure 1.
  • Figure 7 is a vertical cross section of an alternative, but substantially similar, embodiment of a female connector showing the male contacts.
  • Figure 1 is an oblique projection of an embodiment of the cam-equipped connector according to this invention showing an overall view of the male and female connectors constituting it.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the female connector; and
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the male connector.
  • Figures 1-6 show the housings of the female connector 10 and the male connector 20. The contacts used in connectors 10 and 20 are not shown.
  • a female connector 10 like that shown in the Figure 1 has a joining cavity 11 intended for the insertion of a male connector 20. At the bottom surface 11a, shown in Figure 4, of this joining cavity, multiple contact holding openings 12 are made to accommodate male contacts (not shown in Figure 1).
  • the male connector 20 has an end joining surface 21 which comes in contact with the bottom surface 11a of the joining cavity 11 of the female connector 10 when the connectors are joined together.
  • a number of contact holding openings 22 are made in the end joining surface 21 to accommodate female contacts (not shown in Figure 3) intended for connection with the male contacts of the female connector 10.
  • the female contacts which could be used in the male connector 20 are conventional in construction, and any number of standard female contacts could be employed. The structures of the housings is more clearly seen if these standard contacts are omitted. For this reason, the female contacts have not been shown.
  • the cam device 30 of the female connector 10 slides in lateral direction (in the drawing, it is direction AB) inside the joining cavity 11.
  • This cam device consists of upper wall 31 and lower wall 32 connected by side walls 33.
  • two cam grooves 34 are made (shown only partially in Figure 1).
  • Figure 4 is a vertical cross section of the male and female connectors shown in the Figure 1. In the female connector 10, the position of the cross section of the protrusion 14 is different.
  • two beam-like protrusions 14 are provided at the bottom surface 11a of the joining cavity 11 of the female connector 10 which extend in the direction of joining. These protrusions 14 are longer than the height of the male connector inserted in the female connector 10.
  • the male connector 20 has two cavities 24 for these protrusions 14.
  • locking steps 14 are located near the tip of the protrusions 14, and locking lugs matable with the locking steps 14a are located near the front end of the cavities 24. These locking steps 14a and locking lugs 24a form the device for temporary joining.
  • a position of temporary joining that is, the position in which the follower pins 23 can enter the guiding grooves 34
  • this device prevents separation of the connectors 10 and 20.
  • the protrusions 14 of the female connector 10 enter in the cavities 24 of the male connector 20, and if the male connector 20 is inserted further until it reaches the position of temporary joining, the locking lugs 24a in the cavities 24 and the locking steps 14a in the protrusions 14 become engaged, thus providing for intermediary connection and preventing the connectors 10, 20 from separation.
  • the cam device 30 is slid in the direction "A", thus bringing both connectors in the position of full joining using only low effort.
  • an opening 35 is located on the side wall 33 of the cam device 30 (see Figures 5 and 6).
  • pin 15 located on the female connector 10
  • the cam device 30 is made of a contrasting color. Since it is also possible to check if the pin 15 sticks out of the opening 35 by touch, the worker has an additional option to check if the connectors 10 and 20 are joined fully or not.
  • grooves 16 which are different from the above mentioned guiding grooves 13, are located. These grooves 16 are provided for pins 25 (which are different from the above mentioned follower pins 23) made on the upper and bottom sides of the male connector 20.
  • Grooves 16 and pins 25 perform the following functions. They are provided for the purpose of prevention of loss of the cam device 30 female connectors 10 during shipment and handling of finished connectors. During shipment, the cam device 30 is slid in the direction "A" as indicated in the Figure 1. Without above mentioned grooves 16 and pins 25, if an attempt is made to insert the male connector 20 into the joining cavity 11 with the cam device 30 slid into it, the worker may incorrectly assume that connectors 10 and 20 are fully engaged, while only a portion (a part up to the place where the pins 25 are made) of the male connector 20 is inserted.
  • pins 25 will enter grooves 16 only to the edge of the cam device 30, thus preventing the possibility of such an erroneous joining.
  • Pins 25 also assist in prevention of contact deformation. Without pins 25, the square part of the male connector 20 approximately up to the location of pins 25, may be inserted inside the joining cavity 11, thus causing deformation of male contacts. However, because of the pins 25, the male connector can be inserted in the joining cavity 11 only if its square part passes through the guiding grooves 13 and grooves 16.
  • Figure 7 is a sectional view of an alternate embodiment of the female connector 10', which differs only in insignificant details not relevant to the structure and operation of the protrusions and cam device.
  • a (') is used to identify elements of this second alternate embodiment, but basic reference numerals are used to identify corresponding elements.
  • This alternate embodiment like the first embodiment has three rows of contacts 40'.
  • Figure 7 shows that the contacts 40' are inserted from the rear of the housing of the connector 10'.
  • Figure 7 shows a contact 40' exploded from the rear of the housing of connector 10' and contacts 40' located in the lower two rows of the housing of connector 10'. The contacts 40' in the lower two rows are held in position by housing lances 42'.
  • the position of the contacts 40' in the lower two rows, relative to the protrusion 14', is substantially the same as relative positions of contacts and protrusion 14 in connector 10.
  • the protrusion 14' in the joining cavity 11' extends further forward from the bottom surface 11a' of the joining cavity 11' than the contacts 40'. Protrusion 14' thus extends beyond the front ends of contacts 40' where the protrusion would be initially engaged by a misaligned mating male connector in the same fashion previously described with reference to the first embodiment.
  • Figure 7 also shows the cam device 30'.
  • a secondary lock 44' is show exploded from the housing of connector 10'. When all of the contacts 40' are fully inserted, the secondary lock 44' can be inserted and the contacts 40' are held by housing lances 42' and by secondary lock 44'.
  • connectors 10 and 20 can be implemented in a different manner.
  • the configuration of the sliding cam device can be changed compared to that used in this embodiment.
  • This invention also covers connectors having cam devices of rotary type.
